A cosmic ray electron moves at 7.80 ✕ 106 m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where field strength is 1.00 ✕ 10−5 T. What is the radius (in m) of the circular path the electron follows? **Problem Statement:**A cosmic ray electron moves at \(7.80 \times 10^5\) m/s perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field at an altitude where the field strength is \(1.00 \times 10^{-5}\) T. What is the radius (in m) of the circular path the electron follows?**[ ]** m**Explanation:**To solve this problem, we can use the formula for the radius of the circular path of a charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field:\[r = \frac{mv}{qB}\]where:- \(r\) is the radius of the path,- \(m\) is the mass of the electron (\(9.11 \times 10^{-31}\) kg),- \(v\) is the velocity of the electron (\(7.80 \times 10^5\) m/s),- \(q\) is the charge of the electron (\(-1.60 \times 10^{-19}\) C),- \(B\) is the magnetic field strength (\(1.00 \times 10^{-5}\) T).Using these values, you can calculate the radius \(r\).
